RewardsExpeditionary Plate Gauntlets, Expeditionary Plate Gauntlets, Expeditionary Mail Gauntlets, 20s, 1,400 XP

Description

This is bad, {name}. Captain Kelra is bound by magic, the ogres are preparing to attack our friends, and the ritual is almost complete! I have to stay calm. We can't give up now, right? This may sound risky, but we need to take the fight to the ogres. We're behind enemy lines, so we'll be able to get the jump on them and draw their focus away from the camp. Take down any ogres that you can. That should keep them away from our friends.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Right Beneath Their EyesExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    We need to get inside Darkmaul Citadel, rescue the captain of the expedition, and stop the ogre behind all of this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Catapult DestructionExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    Did you notice the catapults on our way up? It appears the ogres plan to attack our allies below. Lindie anticipated something like this and provided several bombs to handle siege weapons. Just don't shake them too hard.
